Brief Summary

This study measured knee frontal plane projection angle (FPPA) and sports safety and performance perceptions of female athletes during a single leg triple hop for distance for 3 conditions (standard knee sleeve, no device and distal thigh compression garment (DTCG)). The hypothesis was that the DTCG group would display superior dynamic knee valgus FPPA compared to the standard knee sleeve and no device groups.

Conditions

Neuromuscular Control

Dynamic Knee Stability

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Frontal Plane Knee Projection Angle

  Frontal plane tibio-femoral alignment at single leg triple hop completion

  Immediately after the intervention

• Subject Confidence in Sports Safety and Performance Perceptions

  10-cm Visual Analog Confidence Scale for Sports Movement Capability and Safety Perceptions. Minimum value = 0. Maximum value = 100. Higher score equals greater confidence.
